Search results for "description"

I was editing one of my online files the other day because I'd thought of a better way to describe the photograph.

I was looking up random images trying to figure out and list a number of potential subjects in demand. Right now I have no proper gear and not enough time for much.

Hence the casual research in free time.And see what it turns up.I searched "revenge" (I didn't know what else to search for)...and quite some images turned up in the search results. "Quite some" means a thousand or more images. I hit the "most downloaded" category because the most... continue reading

Key wording can be very intimidating...you sit, you think and wonder what to type and when you have typed all the words you can possible think about you still have only scratched the surface of what the image is all about.You try and think what a possible buyer might type when looking for an image...but then...you don't know what they are looking for so how could you know what to use as a title or description.When I keyword I tend to use a few simple questions.Where...where... continue reading
